Chapter 246: A Storm On The Forum

Lastly, Li Xiaofei was impressed by Miao Youwei’s courage. Li Xiaofei had donated ten million to Red Flag High School, which was already a substantial donation. Miao Youwei, however, had donated tens of billions, which was practically her entire fortune. Such courage was truly rare. At the most critical moment for Liuhe Base City, such a massive donation was undoubtedly a lifeline for the citizens whose homes had been destroyed by the star beasts\' invasion a few days ago.

This was life-saving money for Liuhe Base City. This was great love for humanity! How could one not be in awe?

The wedding had left everyone with unforgettable memories. After the ceremony, Wang Siyu, Zheng Shou, Gu Haochen, Huang Yueru, and others all came forward to address Miao Youwei as sister-in-law. Then, they each gave Bai Longfei a light pat on the shoulder. The message was clear.

"You pretty boy, if you ever dare to wrong our sister-in-law, don\'t blame us for putting righteousness before family."

Bai Longfei was inwardly frustrated.

Are you kidding me? The decision to donate our fortune was a mutual one between my wife and me. My moral standards are just as high, okay?

He had a nagging feeling of injustice. From now on, everyone might start referring to him as sister-in-law\'s man rather than the handsome Bai Longfei. Marriage really was a man\'s grave.

When everyone walked out of the Qingya Pavilion restaurant, the area had been thoroughly cleaned. There wasn’t a trace of blood on the ground. The members of the Cloudy Sky Gang stood in neat rows around the area as they maintained order. It was as if nothing had happened. But everyone knew very well in their hearts that the Du family had been defeated. They had been crushed by a high school student.

The calmer and cleaner the scene at the entrance of Qingya Pavilion, the more terrifying everything that had happened earlier seemed.

The Du family was one of the five great families. This time, even the old family head had made an appearance, which meant they had mobilized all their forces. Yet, they had been driven out of the wedding venue and beaten up at the entrance. One person had single-handedly beaten up an entire group.

Wang Siyu and the others finally realized that they and Li Xiaofei were no longer on the same level. Now, there was only one enormous question in their minds

***

Just how strong is Li Xiaofei?

This question quickly surged to the top of the trending searches on the light-network’s Weebo after someone uploaded a video of the battle outside Qingya Pavilion to the ranking points forum.

Li Xiaofei was already a highly popular figure on the forum. Any post about him would easily attract hundreds of thousands of views. The Fist People were all over the light-network, waging battles like a pack of mad dogs as they hunted down dissenters. They were fanatically praising Li Xiaofei. Any post that dared to slander or belittle Li Xiaofei would become a target of attack.

Even if someone tried to speak in a moderate tone, with posts like I\'m not a fan or a hater, but Li Xiaofei actually..., I\'m not a Fist Person, but here\'s my fair take, Am I the only one who thinks Li Xiaofei is overrated? or Li Xiaofei is strong, but..., they would still be ruthlessly attacked by the fervent Fist People.

Absolute loyalty or absolute disloyalty! That was the motto of the Fist People.

The post titled Just how strong is Li Xiaofei? showed Li Xiaofei single-handedly taking down the entire Du family at the entrance of Qingya Pavilion. It was like a father disciplining his sons. Li Xiaofei didn’t use any advanced martial techniques or battle skills; he simply waded through the crowd while slapping down one Du family expert after another.

At first glance, the scene seemed simple, but upon reflection, it was terrifying. Even the highly paid enforcer-level experts hired by the Du family couldn\'t withstand a single slap. In the end, even the head of the Du family, a renowned expert in the Meridian Expanding Realm, was mercilessly slapped to the ground by Li Xiaofei. He had overrun one of the five great families, the Du family, all by himself.

The scene was almost surreal. Many people were actually unaware of what had transpired within the gang world. They only admired Li Xiaofei for his dominance in the high school league, which had led them to become his fans. However, even the top students from the high school league, while still influential, rarely reached the pinnacle of strength, let alone obtain the ability to stand up to one of the five great families. Yet, Li Xiaofei had done it.

One man had single-handedly crushed the Du family with contemptuous ease. Even the most fanatical of the Fist People were now bewildered.

What kind of monster have we been supporting all along?

The storm on the light-network spread like wildfire. It not only alarmed the major high schools but also shook the various forces in society. Gang leaders and heads of martial arts halls were trembling in fear when they heard the news.

The ones who had attended the wedding at the invitation of the Du family were nearly having heart attacks. The fact that Li Xiaofei could single-handedly crush the entire Du family meant that even if all the forces in the gang world united, they would still be no match for him.

That didn’t even account for his command over the Cloudy Sky Gang, with its many fearless members. However, some saw this as a good thing.

“We\'ve never had someone this ruthless in our gang world.” Ning Wuwo, the rotating chairman of the Gang Alliance, was so excited after watching the video that he slapped the table in delight. “This is excellent, absolutely excellent...”

“Master, that Li Xiaofei is a fierce and dangerous man. Why are you so happy?” asked his curvaceous female disciple.

Ning Wuwo smiled as he stroked his beard. “You need to think long-term and have a broader vision. The gang world of Liuhe Base City has always been a scattered mess that’s been enslaved by the five great families like pigs and dogs because there’s never been a powerful figure to unite us. If we let Li Xiaofei become the chairman of the Gang Alliance, he could definitely consolidate all the forces and be strong enough to stand against the five great families!”

“Master, are you planning to step down?” asked the surprised female disciple.

In her experience, her master had always been very attached to the position of rotating chairman. He was extremely power-hungry. He had been constantly building relationships, bowing to the five great families, and appeasing the various gangs to secure this position. As long as it kept him in that seat, he would accommodate anyone, avoiding conflicts at all costs.

But today, he had said something completely unexpected.

“It’s not stepping down; it’s yielding to someone more capable!” said Ning Wuwo as he smiled faintly, his weathered eyes glinting with wisdom.

He had seemed to be indulging in drink and pleasure for so many years, but in reality, he had been deeply concerned about the state of the gang world. As a martial artist, how could he not have the desire to win and the ambition to achieve?

But the suffocating iron rule of the five great families made it nearly impossible. Martial artists of ordinary backgrounds either had to become the lackeys of the great families or join a gang to scrape by. The gang world had no hope of rising.

But now, there was hope. Li Xiaofei’s sudden rise to prominence made Ning Wuwo see a glimmer of hope for the gang world’s resurgence.

Ning Wuwo immediately dialed Li Xiaofei’s light core.

“Brother Li, how would you like to become the leader of the martial world?” He asked directly, getting straight to the point.
